Tennessee needs to win its
final two games - Saturday's matchup at Vandy and next week's game with
Kentucky - to become bowl-eligible. Head coach Derek Dooley's job may hinge, in
part, on whether the Vols make it. With wins over Tennessee and Wake Forest in
its final two regular-season games, Vanderbilt could reach eight wins for the
first time since 1982.

KEY MATCHUP

Tennessee QB Tyler Bray and WRs Justin Hunter
and Cordarrelle Patterson against the Vanderbilt secondary. Bray leads the SEC
in passing with 3,216 yards and 29 touchdowns and has a pair of explosive
targets in Hunter (65 catches, 979 yards, 8 TDs) and Patterson (39-638-4).
Vanderbilt is third in the SEC in pass defense, allowing just 177 yards per
game.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Tennessee: LB A.J. Johnson is one of the top
tacklers in the nation with 112 stops, but that may be partly because the Vols'
defense can't get off the field. They allow 480 yards per game, worst in the
SEC.

Vanderbilt: WR Jordan Matthews is second in
the SEC in receiving with 70 catches for 1,003 yards and five touchdowns. His
153 receiving yards last week against Ole Miss was a career-high.
